Teacher Who Stomped on Flag Considered to be Genius

I should explain that I reserve the word genius for people who do something that sounds simple, yet is perhaps the greatest achievement a man or woman can accomplish: Find something you love, and then find a way to get paid for doing it. Scott Compton did it and I say congrats, my man! You see, Mr. Compton was a teacher, a noble profession which most people get into not for the money, but because they love it. But Scott Compton did not love teaching, for he was teaching in a most evil place: America.

Most of the young and impressionable high school kids sitting in his captive audience were predisposed by ~chill~ their parents, church, family, or friends to believe America is a wonderful and benevolent nation, always there first to help, always with arms open wide to those who believe in the pursuit of happiness. It must have been hell on earth for a man like Scott Compton to go into work every day and be confronted with this horror. Day after day, his lessons and descriptions of America as a racist, imperial, punk-ass, greedy bunch of Capitalists seem to at best fall on deaf ears or worse, met with confused looks.

But it wasn’t him, or his methods. It was those damn kids and their dreams. Something had to be done to get their attention and one day it finally hit him: He would degrade and dirty the ultimate symbol of American patriotism and in doing so – humiliate those bright-eyed, ignorant juveniles who dared to believe in God and their country.

And buddy, it worked! Hah!

One fine day last December, South Carolina high school teacher Scott Compton began a discussion on freedom in his classroom when he suddenly grabbed the American Flag from its standing place, threw it on the ground and in full view of the pupils began stomping on it. Wow, it must have felt good. Stomping on that dirty and evil symbol of the shining city was the genius that in a moment turned Scott’s life from one of lonely dejection to a man on the cusp of pure bliss.

Sure, Mr. Compton was removed from the classroom for his actions – but now he’s being paid $85,000 to avoid a legal challenge. Now get this: Scott is getting the eighty-five grand as part of the settlement by Lexington-Richland School District 5 in addition to his salary and over $30,000 in attorney fees. Compton’s lawyers say more money is on the way after they file in federal court against school officials who sought his dismissal. But most importantly – and make no mistake – Scott Compton is getting paid to do what he loves.

What a gimmick. What a job! Need more money? Don’t work a second job like everyone else. Don’t go back to school and get a Master’s Degree or a professional degree or a Doctorate Degree. That’s too pedestrian.

All you need to do if you want more money is to pull down an American flag, throw it on the floor and begin stomping on it. Make a deal about it, and get threated by your boss to be fired, Then sue. You won’t even have to pay your lawyer and he will not have to work pro bono! You will get some dough!

“lawyers say more money is on the way after they file in federal court against school officials who sought his dismissal.”
So now the school gets it’s insurance to pay their court cost and fees just like Mr. Compton did all of his. How great is this the lawyers are sure to get rich on theses mirrored cases flooding of the court system what a waste of the courts time.

You know the lawyers are going to take more of his money than that. He might be able to live for a couple of years on the money but he is going to have to find somewhere to live where he isn’t wearing a bullseye on his forehead…he should try moving to the middle east…they would like his kind over there!!!

I would have loved to have tied him to our flagpole in Ramadi and run him up it. I’m sure those others who feel like he does would love a chance to hurt the best symbol of America, an American practicing his freedom to be an idiot.

iF I WAS THIS CREEP I DO BELIEVE I WOULD GET THE HELL OUT OF DODGE . AND HIDE THE REST OF WHAT LITTLE LIFE I HAD LEFT /// . HE IS IN DEEP DO DO MY FRIENDS . I HOPE HE GETS A CHANCE TO SPEND IT ???? GOOD LUCK
